Indian Cricket's greatest captain Kapil Dev's serving to the country will never be forgotten. Its been 25 splendid years since Indian Team won its first ever World Cup in 1983, on 25th day of June under the captaincy of Kapil Dev. Todays historic day when India clinched the Prudential Cup final will be remembered in a special way. At Lords the then Indian Team will be felicitated and the star cricketers of those times will assemble altogether once again.

Clive Lloyd, then West Indian captain also couldn't stop himself from praising Kapil's efforts.

Kapil Dev was very excited on the eve of the day and remembered his old memories of the dressing room and his interaction with the players. He felt quite emotional to be honest.

We hope that this moment comes again and again in the Indian Cricket as no one is bigger than the game itself.
